As some have mentioned the market will settle and Cincy is now in position to get the right value and fit. I thought the debate would be one of the many solid guards taking less vs filling the RT spot in a lesser market. That was until Darryl William's hitting the market, Collins in a trade and I'm sure I'm missing someone.
If Darryl Williams doesn't go to NYG, I'd rather have him as a quality pass/descent run blocker over giving up a 1st or 2nd for Collins. Collins for a 3rd trump's that, and James Daniels still on the market gives me pause. If you can get a good young fit like him (or Bozeman for some of you) I'd be tempted to sign the guard if RT options dwindle and RT becomes the Smith, Carmen, 3M range FA or mid round pick battle. I'd prioritize a pass blocking RT, but at the right price I'll take another IOL. I'm not against Spain coming back, but not if it means a lesser RT.
Then again, if the right CB falls into place I'd do that and still sign one more OL at least. TE and CB could be a platoon situation with a 5M range player at each and a draft pick (1st or 2nd on a CB, say a 3rd-5th depending on BPA at TE).
